Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel JSC ensures electricity autonomy up to 90%

Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel Joint Stock Company has put into operation the 5th generator turbine with a capacity of 50MW, increasing the company's total power capacity to 114MW. With the operation of the 5th turbine, Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel Integrated Complex has increased the rate of electricity autonomy rate to 85-90 per cent.

Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel Joint Stock Company officially brought its 5th turbine into operation

Mr Dong Xuan Van, head of the Electrical Equipment Department said: The turbine No. 5 includes the super-high-pressure residual heat boiler of the coke furnace and the excess coal gas boiler of the blast furnace. The boilers use the latest super high-pressure thermal technology, creating much higher power generation efficiency than the old one, while at the same time better protecting the environment. The generating capacity of the 5th turbine is equal to 80 per cent of the total capacity of the four turbines that invested some years ago.

The advantage of the super high-voltage thermal generator is to make full use of excess energy sources in the production process such as heat and gas for power generation. This helps the company increase self-consumed electricity output, reduce pressure on the electricity industry, especially in the dry season.

The 5th turbine has increased the total installed capacity of the whole complex’s generator to 114MW, equivalent to a medium-sized thermal power plant. The amount of electricity generated meets 85-90 per cent of the electricity demand at the complex.

According to Mr. Dong Xuan Van, the solutions to recover heat and generated gas for electricity generation and reuse in the production process contribute to save Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel JSC over VND1 trillion in electricity and energy costs a year. The solution thoroughly solves environmental problems in steel production, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
